PANISSIMO – 30/04/2013
I get almost speechless when looking at all the beautiful breads that we have received for the second edition of PANISSIMO. Bread for every taste and of every shape, bread, bread, bread… I personally can never get enough, can you?
Here you can get your biweekly overdose and find plenty of inspiration to make your own bread or trying one of the many amazing recipes tested here by our peaceful army of skilled home-bakers. Thanks to all the participants for this bounty of amazing breads.
Note: PANISSIMO is a biweekly collection of breads organized by Sandra from Indovina chi viene a cena and I. The roundups are up and going the 15th and the 30th of each and every month and include all the breads that have been sent to us within the 2-week interval. Rules for participation here. Don’t miss the bubbly Italian version of the roundup on Sandra’s blog.
